if you lost hope then......

The story about karloy takacs.

A story of an Olympic champion.

In 1938, there was a man in Hungarian army

named KARLOY

who was the pistol shooter

of his country.

He won most of the major national 

and international championships

he seemed closest to winning

1940 TOKYO, Olympic gold medal

and that was the only dream

the focus of life was to win

 the Olympic gold medal for his country.

For which he had practiced for years

he wanted to make his hand,

the best shooting hand in the world.

But all the dreams turns to dust 

one day.

In 1938, in an army training camp 

in an unfortunate accident

one hand grenade exploded in 

karloy's right hand.

His shooting hand,

that grenade ended up not only 

his shooting hand

but his dream Olympic as well,

the only goal of his life.

He had two ways

he would have choosen  to 

knee down to life.

And cry for his rest of his life.

Or he would have focus back on his dreams.

With a small light of hope.

After one year in 1939,

Karloy went to a national championship 

in his country.

His colleagues were delighted to see him

and complemented him on his courage,

to come up at the championship

to cheer for them.

But Karloy answered that,

" He is not there to cheer for them."

But to compete them!

He was there to compete

them with his only hand.

He had practiced for complete one year

with his left hand

to become the best shooter again.

And he won that championship.

He was focused on 

what he had, not

on what he has lost.

But he didn't stop there,

he focus was to become the best 

shooting hand of the world,

and to win the Olympic gold medal, 

so he started training again with his only hand

and he concentrated his whole energy on 

1940 Olympics.

But 1940 Olympics got canceled

due to world war 2,

but he didn't lose hope.

So he concentrated and 

trained again

for 1944 Olympics,

but unfortunately they got canceled

due too world war again.

It was hard very hard

to see his Olympic dream,

fade away like a dust.

But he kept prepared again 

for 1948 Olympics.

He was 28 years old of age in 1938

and in 1948 he was 38 years old.

It was hard to compete with 

the new players,

with new energies.

But that didn't stop him,

he went there.

Best shooters from all over the world,

were competing with their best hands.

He was the only one competing

with his only hand.

And the man with the only hand,

WON !

But he didn't stop there,

in 1952 Olympics 

he WON gold again

and change the history of Olympics.

If your determined

nothing can stop you

to reach your goal.....

never lose hope because you don't know what happens in future.
